I changed the 1.5h code to make SERVE lockouts permanents so that 10 unsuccessful commands --> permanent lockout until SERVEd back, not just until re-IPLed. This makes sure that possible mailing loops with crazy mailers will not restart after a LISTSERV reboot. However, this causes the LISTSERV 191 minidisk to gradually fill up at an amazing rate... because "!%$!$% GLOBALV is not able to intelligently perform housekeeping on the LASTING GLOBALV file (it could count the number of lines appended to it and perform its garbage collection after, say, 100 appends). The only way to cause the file to be reformatted to clean up old entries is GLOBALV INIT, or at least it's the only way that I know of. This will cause all other GLOBALV variables to be lost... This command is automatically issued when LISTSERV IPLs itself, but cannot be issued unless you re-IPL the server. I'll put in a fix in the next release to make sure not to issue the SETP unless the variable was previously ^= '', which will force me to issue another GLOBALV call but *sigh* nevermind... In the meanwhile you may want to re-IPL your server from time to time to clean up the problem. A possible solution is to add an entry in WAKEPARM FILE with CP SM * SHUTDOWN REIPL. This will cause a daily re-IPL to clean up the GLOBALV file. Eric
